Motivating Monday: Be Wise

Be Wise Welcome and welcome back. It's another amazing day in paradise. Today is Monday, 2.14.2022. Happy Monday. A belate Happy Black Love Day (2.13). For those who celebrate Happy Valentine's Day. Thank you so much for being here.  If it's your first time, my name is Kara Lynn Sanders (bonus points if you pronounce my first name correctly). Most people know me as Kai (rhymes with hi, sky and bye). That's also the name I use to introduce myself. And yes, Monday is my favorite day of the week. I have the highest honor ever to be a mom. Being a mom is my career. I am blessed have given birth to a phenomenal young Black male superhero who is 6.  When I was pregnant the name God gave him was Wisdom. I laughed. Who wouldn't? That's a huge name to live up to and I would have to be the one who did the work to get him there.  But then God said, "his name isn't going to be Wisdom for what he will learn but for what he will teach". The child growing in my s...

Motivating Monday (on Tuesday) - Now and How

Now and How Welcome and welcome back! Today is Tuesday, February 8, 2022. It's another amazing day in paradise.  This is a continuation of the post called Solutions . Here I'm going to talk about why the time is now to launch and how you can get involved (because you definitely want to). February is the time. It is a VERY special month.   God has set it apart to launch L.U.V. for several  reasons.   Here they are:  1. February is Black History Month. T o celebrate  Black History Month   we are creating  Black history.  2. February is also the home of National Black Love Day . It is held every year on Febraury 13. This year it's on a Sunday, Super Bowl Sunday. That day will mark 29 years since its inception!  The five tenets and fours goals of Black Love Day are one of the pillars L.U.V. Enterprises stands on. The Global Theme for this year is "Finding Spiritual Joy Through Black Love". I encourage you to check out the website above to jo...

Motivating Monday (on Wednesday): SCORE!!

SCORE!! Welcome and welcome back. Today is Wednesday, February 9, 2022. It is yet another amazing day in paradise. Thank you for being here.  This is the third post this week. I introduced L.U.V. Enterprises Presents Solutions on Monday. Yesterday I wrote about Now and How . Today I continue with Score. As I was pondering this post, the lyrics to a Will Smith song came to mind. I can't remember the name of the song, I have to look it up, but this one line is on repeat in my head. He said, "Every time I shoot I score, got so many awards I can start a Grammy chessboard". That's why I'm calling this post "SCORE!!".  When I consider what kind of game I'm playing right now, it's a money game. In order to launch the projects God planted in me, I need funds. So my objective is to shoot and score everytime I speak to someone. I'm here to divulge how much I need and what that money will be used for. First of all the maximum amount I'm looking to ...

Motivating Monday (ON MONDAY) - Solutions

Solutions Welcome and welcome back! It's another amazing day in paradise. Happy Monday 2.7.2022. It's my favorite day of the week. Thank you so much for joining me.  Whoooooosa (taking a deep breath)... Where do I start? I'm completely thrilled and a little overwhelmed but extremely grateful. God is just so good!  Please excuse the silence. God has been working on me. I'm so honored to be a vessel for His work. During the month of January, I struggled to know what direction I was supposed to go in.  God gave me clarity when He said, "your gift is parenting". Since I know parenting is the problem and parenting is the solution that was the direction I needed. Now I can say to you, "L.U.V. Enterprises Presents Solutions!" Whenever you are being counseled about starting a business, the question you have to ask yourself is "what is the problem I'm providing a solution for?". Whatever you have to offer must solve a problem or meet a need. L.U...

Motivating Monday (on Tuesday): Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Welcome and welcome back! It's another amazing day in paradise. A belated Happy Monday! Welcome to 2022! I know that might seem late but technically we're still at the beginning of this new year. There are over 11 months to go so this is still "new" (wink, wink, smile). It's been a while, right? I haven't written since November of last year. A lot has transpired since then and I'm so excited about what's been going on!  THE MOTIVATION AND INSPIRATION First of all I am writing today, Tuesday, January 25, for an important reason. It is the birthday of someone incredibly special to me, who isn't Wisdom (Wis' birthday is on December 23).  There was a beautiful individual I met online over 13 years ago on June 6, 2008 via Skype. We have NEVER met in person. Yet he is the person who initiated the internal journey of L.U.V. I've been on. I was living in Hawaii. He was in the Ivory Coast of Africa. Today we are much closer but still ...

Motivating Monday (on Sunday): November 7, 2021

Exhausted! Welcome and welcome back! It's another amazing day in paradise. Thank you so much for being here. I know it's only one day from Monday. It would seem like I would just wait one more day to post this article or schedule it to post tomorrow. But... God is so amazing. And I had to share today. The title of this post is called "Exhausted" because I am exhausted by the ways God blesses my son, Wisdom and I. I mean He is over the top in the way He favors us. And then He gives us the honor of favoring others.  There are times when I get tired by the things Wisdom and I do. At times it feels like the ways we are moving is a waste of time versus an investment. BUT GOD... He takes those experiences and just as He promises, He makes "all things work together for [our] good".  Yesterday (Saturday, 11.6) was a days of too many bus rides with long wait times between them which often feels like "lost" or wasted time. How the day ended showed me that we...
